"Hope is always there, even when you can't see it or feel it. My favorite quote about hope is from Emily Dickinson: "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.""

"Nature: I find nature to be essential, inspiring, and deeply healing. For me, nature has always been a sanctuary, whether I was feeling happy or weighed down by sadness. No matter your mood, it offers a safe and grounding space to simply be. Recreation: I've learned that making time to play is a radical act of self-care and connection, especially in a world that so often values productivity over joy. Relationships: At every stage of my life, strong relationships were essential to my well-being. They offer connection, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. These bonds help us navigate challenges, celebrate joys, and ultimately live healthier, more balanced lives."
